Apple is gearing up to unveil the iPhone 17 Air in September 2025, aiming to replace the underperforming Plus model in its lineup. Initially, there were whispers about it being named the iPhone 17 Slim. Now, insights from Haitong, a Hong Kong investment bank, suggest that the iPhone 17 Air might only be 6 mm thick, which would make it slimmer than the iPhone 6, known for its 6.9 mm thinness.

While much remains uncertain about the upcoming device, some specifics have emerged. The iPhone 17 Air is expected to feature a 6.6-inch display and will likely be equipped with the A19 chip, though not the Pro version.

There’s chatter that it might only sport a single rear camera, which could be a letdown for some, but as analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has suggested, Apple seems to be prioritizing a unique design over high-end camera capabilities. As this model represents a bold move for Apple, we’ll keep an eye out for further leaks and rumours to get a clearer picture of what’s in store.
